Study explains why omega-3 fatty acids prevent breast cancer
Posted by: | CommentsOmega-3 fatty acids have been found to provide a preventative effect against breast cancer. A new study shows Omega-3 fatty acids render the preventative effect by suppressing the NF-kB transcription activity, nuclear localization and overall function.
The study also found evidence suggesting that Omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent luminal A, B and basal breast cancer subtypes, but not HER2 overexpressing subtype.
Previous studies have found Omega-3 fatty acids to be able to affect tumor growth in preclinical models of breast cancer while epidemiological studies did not yield consistent results.
Dr. C. Chen and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Kansas Cancer Center in Kansas City, Kansas hypothesized that Omega-3 fatty acids are effective against certain subtypes of breast cancer only.
In their study, the researchers tested Omega-3 ethyl esters derived from Lovaza in four lines of breast cancer cells representing four principal molecular subtypes of the malignancy, luminal A, luminal B, basal and HER2 overexpressors.
